Orion Project Back On Steam After DMCA Takedown

June 30th, 2016 Connor

The Orion Project is once again available on Steam after its removal from Steam over allegations of copyright theft. Developer Trek Industries found itself on the defensive earlier this week when Valve removed their game from sale, responding to a DMCA takedown notice by Activision claiming that several guns from Orion were stolen from more than one Call of Duty title.

Trek Industries initially denied the claim, threatening legal action against Activision and calling their DMCA notice illegal. The developer later retracted their claims once comparisons surfaced of the guns in question, announcing that the artist responsible has been fired and that they would be complying with Activision’s complaint.
